I've heard that students, these days have a lot to be desired. They are rude, crude and insufferably ignorant … and show a great lack of imagination. The comments that I've read so far seem to verify the fact.
If you think that imaginary numbers don't have a place in Classical Mechanics then...
This is exactly what I mean. What both of you have said is that the iFactor is simply there to make the mathematics come out right. What if there is a hidden meaning? There are many things in Reality that are hidden from our perception. I think that we can all agree that Physics, so far, is...
OK, 64 people have viewed this thread and no comments have been logged. So, I will make another comment:
It is my understanding that mainstream physics maintains the view that the iFactor is there just to make the mathematics come out right.
I think that the iFactor is much more significant...
I have a Question:
When the imaginary unit, i, is factored with time, t, in the Lorentz Transformation, or when the Hamiltonian is factored (as when Dirac created his Creation and Annihilation Operators,) and i is factored with the momentum, p, the iFactor is always factored with time, energy...
Several years ago, while I was thinking about dark matter and how we had misplaced 96% the matter in the universe, I realized that something was very wrong with how we perceived matter and that something was fundamentally wrong with physics. To think that 96% of the matter in the universe is...
